Lynnwood

Kent

In Kent and King County, ERPOs can protect individuals from high-risk behaviors involving firearms. Filing an ERPO temporarily removes the respondent’s access to guns and ammunition, helping prevent suicides, assaults, and other gun-related incidents.

The ERPO Petition Process in Washington

To file an ERPO, you must submit documents by email or fax with details such as:

  • Your name and relationship to the respondent
  • Types of firearms the respondent has access to
  • Reasons you believe the respondent poses a threat
  • History of violence, threats, or prior convictions

You may request a temporary ERPO effective immediately for 14 days or a one-year ERPO, which requires a hearing and evidence presentation.
